The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1406

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 6

…

When the young man opened the thin book with wariness and suspicion, he could not help but frown deeply. This is because what is written in there are a couple of arrays that are basic and all are for protection.

He might be a Shen before, but he is not that proficient in arrays. But the basic rune symbols in these notes are something that he had learned before.

Xin Ja has written these notes after thinking for a while. He has to cover his tracks and should have reasons for his skills. Hence pushing the blame on a note that a Shen might be familiar with should be a good alibi.

After the A-Rank person reads the notes for a while, he carefully kept them in his pocket and then nodded at Xin Ja.

He did not say anything and just shifted his gaze at the young woman and then at the box. He checked the box and then nodded his head confirming that the thing is what he was looking for.

"Did you touch anything?" the young man suddenly asked.

Xin Ja showed confusion in his eyes and shook his head as if he did not know how to answer such a question.

"Umm… I have to carry you all out of that weird place, so… I… I might have touched you all?" he said in confusion.

The young man showed a deadpan face as if looking at an idiot.

"You can wait for these three to wake up… I will take the woman and the box with me back to the base…" he said as he stood up and carried the woman on his shoulder and the box in his hand and then left.

After the guy has left, Xin Ja could not help but wipe the beads of sweat covering his forehead. He did not expect that the aura coming from that guy is very strong. It is so far the strongest he has felt in his entire life.

But of course, he also feels that the strong aura seems a bit familiar.

"So that is the battle aura of an A-Rank… They really are Shens..." He muttered while heaving a sigh.

He knew that the aura is not being fully released as that kind of aura is being suppressed by some mysterious power of this world. But still, the power of the Shen is nothing to scoff at, as it almost made Xin Ja faint.

It did not take long before the rest of the awakened and quickly asked Xin Ja what happened. The same explanation he gave to the 3 and explains to them except he did not show them any notes.

The three wanted to ask him more questions, but they know that it is not the time. So they quickly left the valley.

They did not even spare those dead soldiers on their way and just left.

Xin Ja could only lament the attitude of those people.

He, on the other hand, gathered the corpse of the soldiers and buried them in a single grave. He even erected an array so that no demonized beast would dig them out.

After that, he went back to his group who are already clearing the area filled with demon corpses.

When Xin Ja saw the corpses, his eyes suddenly grew wide in excitement. It is truly a magnificent blessing in disguise.

Though those demons only have meager Ki, there are those that have a lot of them.

"Hey, where have you been?" asked Dozer while looking at Xin Ja with a strange gaze.

"I went to help the others… No one is alive in that place…" he pointed in the direction of the burial ground.

"I will help clean the demon corpse in this place…" he said as he quickly left.

They all know that cleaning the demon corpses, would prevent more beasts from being demonized, plus they suspected that the demon corpses are the source of the mist. But of course, that is not the real reason for the mist.

The mist in this place seems natural but what Xin Ja has absorbed before is clearly polluted, for some reason the mist was polluted mysteriously.

But of course, no one can answer the question of why it happened.

At this time, Xin Ja began gathering the demon corpses along with some of the lower-level soldiers. According to the higher ranking awakened, this job is only for normal humans and those F-Ranks.

But seeing a C-Rank in the group helping them made those soldiers respect him more.

Unknown to them, Xin Ja is greedily devouring the Ki in those demons' bodies while he carries them.

It did not take long before he soon reaches the middle ranks of the Ki-Champion realm.

…

Meanwhile, Nedona and her cronies arrive in front of the mouth of a strangely large cave. The stench coming from inside the cave made her smile.

"This thing has grown to such a size after we have disturbed the energy of this world…"

The reason why the Shen of this world began to awaken their power is because of the imbalance brought by the demons when they accidentally entered the cave with the dream stone.

And that has caused a huge disturbance in the Ki of the world that a large amount of it coming from the other side has seeped into the world of the Shens.

And not only did the people of this world benefit from it, but the ones that most benefit from this incident are the demon kind.

Even the Shadow Beings were not that lucky.

"Master… Will this thing be of help to our cause?" asked one of the draconian behind her.

"Yes, this thing has our blood and has even devoured a demon. So this means that this thing would have reached the level of intelligence that we can recruit…" she said with confidence in her eyes.

"I heard that the other side has also begun their move… They will also find their champion…"

When Nedona heard those words, she just shakes her head and chuckled.

"They wanted to destroy this world so that they can open up the heavenly dimensions… But I have already been to the divine dimension and it is not a nice place. We demons are despised and are just slaves in that place…" she grunted.

For an uncountable number of years, the demons have been working with the Shadow Beings in this universe just to conquer one world after another. But, they still could not win against those deities and the war is at a stalemate.

But when they were summoned to that forsaken planet, they all regretted following this idiotic plan of those Shadow Beings.

She did not know who implanted the idea of going to the divine dimension just to become slaves of the deities in that place.

After eons of living as a slave, she finally got her chance to go down to the mortal universe and join the eternal battle of light and darkness.

In this battle, she bled, she died, and then she lives again. But the feeling of killing a deity is genuinely exhilarating.

And now they are in a world where there are many high-level deities that she could only hide when seeing if they are outside of this world.

And yet in this world, she can kill them to her heart's content. She wanted to go on a rampage, but the plan should go first according to their king.

It did not take long for them to wait when suddenly a mountain-like figure walked out of the cave and towered over them.

"What do you demons want?" the creature that looks like a hybrid of a lizard and bear asked in a deep tone using the demon language.

"So you talk our language…" Nedona asked in elation.

"I don't want you to waste my time… I'm busy…" the creature replied as it sits on the ground in front of its cave.

"Hehe… You might be a bit bigger and a bit different, but you are still a Lebiar… a low-class demon." She scoffs.

The Lebiar suddenly became enraged as it lifted its paw to smash the daring demon in front of it.

It is the king of this part of the icy forest, how dare a small demon threatens it in its own territory.

But before it could smash Nedona into a pulp, a draconian stood in its way and blocked its giant fist with a single hand.

Kom!!!

The impact made the ground shake and the dust flew.

"It is as powerful as I am… Master…" the draconian said with a smile.

The Lebiar did not do anything after that episode as it just sits calmly on the ground while looking at the demons in front of it.

It did not take long before a few Lebiars appear from behind it and surrounded Nedona and her group.

When she saw this, she could not help but show a faint smile on her face.

"We are just here to invite you to our force… There is no need for violence, right?" she suddenly said with a crafty smile on her face.
